S06E10 – “Tithonus” feat Allie
New guest Allie (@allie_lingren) joined us to chat about death in S06E10 “Tithonus”. We get a great Scully story with her patented belief/non-belief, Mulder’s extreme boredom and lack of enrichment, the parallels of this episode with “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” and the final answer on whether Scully is immortal.

S06E08 – “The Rain King” feat RocÃo
We talked S06E08 “The Rain King” with returning guest RocÃo. We talk about the funny/odd vibes of early season 6, loser Mulder, the fan fic type fun of the plot, and all things weird Midwestern weather. We discuss Holman’s character 90s vibe compared to how that character works today and laugh a lot, to be honest.

Best Villain 2015: Really Nailing These Transitions w/ Andy Germuga
In this supersized episode, Kenny and Ben are joined by their friend Andy for a look at Best Villain 2015 with both iconic and unexpected nominees. Meryl Streep won this one for her role as The Witch in Into the Woods, but was she really better than the villains of 22 Jump Street, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Gone Girl and Whiplash? The boys discuss it at length while also talking about adaptation changes and eclectic structures, Ice Cube’s death glare, the Quicksilver superspeed montage, the cool girl speech, if Whiplash understands that J.K. Simmons is the villain or not and much much more. It’s a real corker of an episode so buckle in for a wild ride!
S06E03 – “Triangle” feat Tori
Tori (@torlinnea) returns again to chat S06E03 “Triangle”. We talk this fun and silly masterpiece that features lots of long continuous shots and what it took to make that happen. Shelby presents her argument as to why this episode is Chris Carter’s best work on the show and we talk miscellaneous topics towards the end.

Best Villain 2014: Whips, Apes, and Other Connections
Kenny and Ben take on one of the most eclectic groups of Best Villain nominees of the decade led by Mila Kunis, who won for her performance in Oz The Great and Powerful. Sure, Oz the Great and Powerful is a great movie and everyone can agree with this but is Kunis really better than the villains of Captain Phillips, Star Trek Into Darkness, Twelve Years A Slave and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The boys get into it while also discussing how James Franco is also good in Oz, how little of Captain Phillips is actually set on the boat, the bungled attempt to hide Khan, the ethics of nominating a movie as serious as 12 Years A Slave for Best Villain, recurring features across the movies, and much more! It’s a very normal episode with very normal takes that won’t be controversial in the slightest!
